Infographic: Seamus's 'lawless' trip

Still hungering for more details about when Mitt Romney strapped his dog Seamus to the roof of the car during a 1983 road trip?

The Animal Legal Defense Fund hopes so. They’ve created an infographic that “depicts not only the down-and-dirty details of Seamus’ terrifying 12 hour trip — it outlines the anti-cruelty laws in each of the jurisdictions the Romneys passed through that would clearly prohibit such a rooftop journey.”

“Romney’s treatment of Seamus violates current law in Massachusetts, New York, and Ontario and law dating back to 1983 in both Massachusetts and New York,” the infographic states. “Statutes of limitations have run out on all possible animal cruelty claims.”

The infographic goes on to discuss, in great detail, such things as the car’s size (87 cubic feet), the trip’s route (“mostly along interstate 90”) and the stress-induced diarrhea that afflicted poor little Seamus.

The whole thing, according to the ALDF, adds up to a “lawless 12 hour journey,” which might also describe the time spent crunching the data on this 28-year-old incident.
